Hey everyone... I realize that the Save/Restore app has not been updated in quite a while and that I have basically been MIA with making those update. It's really a combination of having a new child in the house, work that has been absolutely crazy these past few months and getting a new computer that doesn't have all the software I need installed and just no free time to get this done.

I will hopefully get some free time to focus on this in a couple weeks (if not sooner) and will see what I can do. So, if you can wait a little longer I promise I will take a look and try to get this done!

Babies are unpredictable in their demands on a parent's time, so not to add to the pressure, but...how's it looking for pushing out an update? I'm hoping that iShelf (submitted back in 12/11?) will be included.

notworking here with 1.5.6. Because i was a little bit weak in my brain i lost now 4 MONTH of messages. The last backup with all files inside the zip is from April. i didnt recognized after that date, that the s/R-Script didnt work anymore. Dont know, which version of MWU it was. But i always updated, when the app told me. So when i look to the change log of amoralico, it should be version 1.5.2 or 1.5.3. (the version you said functioning for you).

The media and text-files are all in place, only the db-file is missing.

Is there any way to repair the installation, so MWU recognizes the existing files ?

As long as it is not included in an updated Save&Restore package you have to follow these steps (on both devices if you want to restore on second webOS device):

* Exit the apps Save&Restore and Mojowhatsup
* Download thread-attached zip to your PC / or webOS device
* extract it (unzip)
* move the extracted file "com.palm.mojowhatsup" to /var/svc/org.webosinternals.saverestore/ (moving e.g. with Internalz Pro).
* set the linux file rights of "com.palm.mojowhatsup" to the same as for the other script files there (especially set the execution rights +X)

You should then have a look if you really have the file here: /var/svc/org.webosinternals.saverestore/com.palm.mojowhatsup
Perhaps open it with Internalz Pro and check if it starts with

After that start Save&Restore. If Mojowhatsup is not apearing in Save&Restore, reboot and start Save&Restore again.

I would like to add TimeLeft to Save/Restore. I understand that I have to write a script to do it. I tried searching for instructions for writing scripts, but I have not find any; maybe I searched for the wrong thing. Could anyone please tell me how to go about doing that?

Also, has anyone set up a method to get the backed up data up with the USB? I've used Archive Manager to zip the folder and as soon as I get my email back up, I'm going to mail it to my Box account; I've got that server certificate thing again which I gotta fix. If there's a better way to do this, I've love to know. I just don't want to have to hook my phone up to a PC to get my backup off of it all of the time.

Ok, I was able to get my SaveRestore backup off of my 'stuck' 2, copy it over to my 3 and restore stuff. I got most of my stuff installed -- all except for Data Manager and Shopping Manager. The best thing ever is that TealSpeed was reloaded! I hated having to rebuild those from scratch EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!!! I'm still trying to figure out why Data and Shopping are not reloading even though they were backed up.

I also found where the info for creating scripts is so I am going to try writing one for TaskMaster.

Ok, where would I post a complaint about Save/Restore, because of what I consider the important things, I was NOT able to get them back, meaning that I now have to manually rebuild a very big database and I have to again figure out everything that I had in Tealspeed. I didn't bother to write them down last time because Save/Restore was supposed to be able to put them back for me.

Sorry, but I'm not very happy right now. I tried everything everyone listed on the other page that I was working with, plus a couple of more things that I come up with and I still don't have what I would consider my important data back. Oh, and I didn't even get my icons back into the order that they started out in, so I had to dag everything back from the first page.

At a total loss here.....

Ok, I took a chill pill, saw the last thing I did here and started over by getting rid of every saverestore item on 3 and copied the last one from the 2 and restored from there. Got my Data Manager back, my GCal works and now i just have to sign in to my emails again. Sorry and thanks guys.

I still have my question though: can you not keep multiple copies of backups and must they always keep the file name, with no alterations?

I recently had to doctor my Pre3 and found my main Bible app (Bible Reader KJV) is no longer in the app catalog. I've had BibleZ Pro HD from when I beta tested it, but the backup function has never worked on the Pre3 or my TouchPad. I see Save/Restore has BibleZ and BibleZ Pro, can I request Pro HD be added OR can someone share what Save/Restore copies in BibleZ and Pro so I can manually copy it myself? I take too many notes to use an app I can't backup!
Thanks
It looks like the filename is the same as BibleZ Pro, just with the addition of .enyo at the end. I found the script for BibleZ Pro in the Save/Restore github, but I can't follow the directions in the wiki to make my own script adding HD to the app name. The fromdos command does nothing and I can't open the phone command prompt with the novacom command they specify. Can I use novaterm?

Reason: tried to make my own script.......failed......

it's a bit outdated because there were some other options that were added to the file that added but didnt make it back to the tutorial (like specifying minimum or max webOS versions), but the tutorial should still work for the most part. Obviously, with webOS basically being dead and most of us moving to other platforms, we havent really kept up much with these apps.

I read that and the steps on the wiki, but it doesn't explain what program to write the script in. I did it in notepad, but Windows saves it as a .txt file. Is the fromdos command supposed to change it? I looked at the scripts posted by others here and windows doesn't recognize the file type. That's really all the help I need is where to create the script.
Thanks,

I just used notepad, too. And from the tutorial:

Then, in the 2nd windows command prompt (the one where you changed to the “tofrodos” folder), you need to run the following command: “Fromdos scriptname”. So, for the example above:
